A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 727 Ye Xi-Mei's Good Intentions

Ye Fan and Lu Wen-Jing returned to the Ye residence in Yeyang that very night.

But Ye Tian and the others were all hospitalized.

Ye Fan's grandfather got a huge shock when he found out what happened.

"WHAT?! You and your older brother got beaten up? Even Yu-Yan is hospitalized? What have you done, you little bastards? Fan was there too, but why was he the only one who made it back in one piece? Why did the rest of you little bastards end up beaten up? You assholes must have made trouble!"

Old Master Ye was both anxious and furious. His face went livid as he scolded Ye Ya on the phone right away. Then he called for a car and went to the city in the middle of the night to visit his children and grandchildren at the hospital.

Old Master Ye had already left when Ye Xi-Mei caught wind of the matter.

"Fan, what happened? I heard something happened to your uncles," asked Ye Xi-Mei somewhat anxiously. She had no choice but to ask Ye Fan, who was at home.

Ye Fan wasn't anxious at all and said slowly, "Mum, don't worry. It's no big deal. They merely suffered a bit of shock. Since my uncles have had it too easy all their lives, this setback is good for them. So stop worrying. Here, have some fruit."

Ye Fan cut a plate of fruit and placed it before his mother as he spoke.

Lei Ao-Ting gave Ye Fan this fruit today. After he dropped them here, he left without giving Ye Fan a chance to refuse him.

"Hmm? Fan, what fruit is this? It looks unusual."

It looked as round as watermelon, had a particularly even pattern on its surface, and a T shaped stem. From a distance, it was inexplicably very aesthetically pleasing.

Even Ye Xi-Mei rarely saw fruit like this, so she couldn't help being curious.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "I don't know either. A friend gave it to me. It looks good, but I wonder how it tastes."

"Wow! It tastes amazing! Fan, come over quickly and have some," said Lu Wen-Jing in surprise. She couldn't resist eating a piece while Ye Fan and his mother were talking, and it was delicious.

Ye Xi-Mei tried a piece too. Then she smiled as she nodded and said, "Fan, she's right! This fruit tastes as good as it looks. It melts in my mouth and tastes lovely. But we can't finish it all by ourselves. I will save half a plate for your grandpa, and you two can finish the rest."

After having one more piece, Ye Xi-Mei couldn't bear to eat more.

She left half a plate for Ye Fan and Lu Wen-Jing and saved the other half for her father.

Ye Fan shook his head and smiled as he said, "Mum, just eat as much as you like. My friend gave me a few."

He pointed at the red boxes at the door containing three of the same fruit.

Ye Xi-Mei was delighted. She wanted to give some to Ye Fan's uncles and decided to give them one each.

"Fan, your uncles are both hospitalized, so we ought to visit them. Let's go tomorrow."

Ye Fan didn't feel like going, but his mother was simply too persistent.

"Fine. I'll go with you tomorrow," replied Ye Fan sadly as he nodded before he retired to his room.

Ye Xi-Mei looked at Ye Fan from behind as he left. Then she sighed and muttered to herself, "Fan, I know you have a problem with your uncles. But if you meet with any problems in the future, your father won't offer you help. The only people who will support you are your uncles and aunt. I hope you can understand my good intentions."

Despite being married, Ye Xi-Mei continued living in the Ye residence, so she suffered a lot of contempt for it.

But for the sake of her son, Ye Xi-Mei could swallow and tolerate any sort of injustice.

Just like what Old Master Ye said, if Ye Fan got into dire straits one day, the only people who could help were those brothers of hers.

Hence, Ye Xi-Mei did her utmost to keep up her relationship with her brothers even though they mistreated Ye Fan.

She hoped to win her siblings over with her humility.

Harmony bred prosperity.

But didn't Ye Fan already know this?

Of course, he did.

Ye Fan knew his mother did everything for his sake.

"But Mum, you have no clue that your son is renowned throughout Jiangdong and no longer needs any help. Soon, you will. On the first day of the new year, you will know of the lofty heights your son is standing at now when people come from near and far to visit us!"

Ye Fan stood in his room with his hands behind his back. He quietly watched his mother walk solitarily in the darkness with a dignified and profound look in his deep eyes.

After all this, Ye Fan was keenly aware people sometimes only believed the things they saw with their own eyes.

The next day, Ye Fan and his mother visited Ye Tian and the others at the hospital bearing fruit and milk.

"Tian, Fan, and I are here to visit you. Are you okay? Why did you get hurt?"

They got into the room and saw many visitors inside.

Ye Tian was Dongyang's deputy county mayor, so many people fawned over him.

Ye Tian sneered coldly and ignored Ye Fan and his mother after they entered the hospital ward.

Ye Xi-Mei instantly felt a little awkward.

But she kept up the smile on her face and said, "Fan, hurry up and prepare some fruit for your uncles."

"It's fine. Ye Fan's fruit is too good for me!" sneered Ye Tian unhappily.

Ye Tian was clearly still holding a grudge from the day before.

After all, the traffic accident and them getting beaten up at Guangyue Restaurant were both closely related to Ye Fan.

The trouble they met at the restaurant was simply an unexpected disaster!

And Ye Tian didn't even know Hua Ying-Tian.

Their entire family got beaten up for no reason.

So Ye Tian took his fury all out on Ye Fan.

Since there were many visitors in the ward, Ye Tian merely gave Ye Fan and his mother the cold shoulder and didn't air his grievances aloud.

Even then, Ye Fan could keenly sense his eldest uncle's anger.

Ye Fan didn't get upset since his uncles had always disliked him, so he was used to it.

Moreover, they got beaten up because of him to a certain degree, so they had a right to be angry with Ye Fan.

After staying for a while, Ye Fan and his mother left as visitors kept coming.

Then they went to Ye Yu-Yan's hospital ward to visit her.

"Mum, I'll pass. Go on your own. I'll wait for you at the hospital entrance," said Ye Fan before he turned to leave.

Ye Xi-Mei sighed helplessly. Then she

entered Ye Yu-Yan's hospital ward.
